Jenna Ellis, a former Trump lawyer who pleaded guilty to charges in the Georgia election interference case, has been barred from practicing law in Colorado for the next three years. A Colorado judge on Tuesday approved a deal between Ellis and the state's Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel for the suspension of her law license.

'Had I done my duty in investigating these alleged facts before promoting them as the truth, I do not believe I would be here,' Ellis added. 'I turned a blind eye to the possibility that senior lawyers for the Trump Campaign were embracing claims they knew or should have known were false. I just went along with it. I was wrong.' Ellis was one of 19 co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump, indicted in the Georgia election interference case.
